    Aoudad Adventure

    Mike is a stand up guy! Congrats on the success! And yes, can confirm, everything here wants to stab you or bite you. Haha.

    First truck and current truck.

    First truck - 1993 Ford F-150 Extended Cab with the 351 Cleveland. It was a hand me down from dad when I turned 16. Had about 120k on it at the time. I’m pretty sure it’s still being driven by a guy that used to work for my father. Current truck is a 2014 Ford F-150 FX4 with 75k on the ticker...

    How far for a 10" steel target?

    A lot of factors on how far and how consistently one should be able to ring that plate with their rifle. The range I shoot at has 8” at 300 and 12” at 400 yards and I’m not having a good day if I’m not keeping my shots on those gongs at those distances. As for pistol shooting, generally the...

    Do You Sight In At 100, 200 or MPBR?

    100 yard zero…holdovers using mil based reticle past that. Happy with this setup out to 400, which is my self imposed limit for shooting game.

    Boots for September Hunt

    You can find White’s Boots on Camofire for good prices (on sale they come in under your $200 mark). There are some on there today. My dad has an insulated pair of Lochsas that he likes. Build quality seems on par with the other popular European / Italian brands.

    Handgun virgin seeks advice & recommendations

    For all around utility and for either of you to use, as others have mentioned, I’d be looking long and hard at an SBR with red dot. There’s not going to be anything else that is as effective at putting lots of rounds on target very quickly. Second would be a 20 gauge auto loading compact...

    I need tires, what's the recommendation?

    Hmmm interesting comment…there is probably an AT tire that is better than them in mud but I definitely wouldn’t say they suck. At least not in my personal experience. I wouldn’t ask them to do what a MT tire would do, but I’ve definitely had much worse experiences with other brands of AT tires...

    I need tires, what's the recommendation?

    I have been very happy with General Grabber ATXs. Very similar tread pattern to the KO2s and at the time I got them, they were about $50 less per tire compared to the KO2s.

    Beretta A300 anyone?

    My Beretta 3901 (precursor to the A300) has given me a decade of reliability. It’s exactly like you said…nothing fancy, no frills, but just works. Goes bang every time you pull the trigger, shoulders well. Checks all the boxes. A buddy has the A300 and same story for him. Been plenty happy and...

    Awesome! Congrats on the bull!!

    22 Ammo

    Plinking? Shoot whatever really. I would second the CCI recommendation though. They are king when it comes to Rimfire ammo. Good high quality offerings, and their bulk stuff is all good and usually comparable to other brands in terms of pricing. I’ll shoot standard velocity or mini mags for...

    Buying a spotter (yes another spotting scope thread)

    I made the switch from an SX-4 (20-60x85mm) to the Gold Ring HD this year. Between using it at the family ranch, using it at the range, etc. I can confidently say the Gold Ring is hands down a better scope! Clearer for sure and way easier to get behind. And way smaller and way lighter. I’m...

    What I Wish I Knew - Concealed Carry

    Find that intersection of small enough to conceal relatively easily, but still large enough to shoot well and be willing to practice with it (H&K P30SK for me). Small pistols are not fun to shoot for extended periods of time and are much harder to shoot well than something with a longer sight...

    Upgrading my shotgun

    Based on your budget and parameters, my vote would be a Mossberg 500 or an older 870 Wingmaster if you can find one in good shape (you couldn’t pay me to have anything made by Remington in the last 5 years give or take…too many QC issues). On the other hand, if you can stretch your budget...

    License’s in the mail

    At least give me something!! Haha who knows…small consolation prize for the cost of the out of state tag maybe. None the less, 1st Rifle elk here we come! @Dsnow9

    Leica, Steiner, & Leupold Binos

    Schmalts’ gave you good advice on those Meoptas. Or you can find Kowa Genesis in your price range on sale. That’s what I’ve got and have no intentions of changing anytime soon.

    Quality over quantity?

    B…one for me and one for the wife or daughters

    Love mine! Good luck with sale.

    I know, dangerous ammo question

    The ELD-M, while it wouldn’t be my first choice, should work ok. Just don’t get crazy in terms of shot distance and stay off the shoulder since it’s a softer jacketed target bullet and lacks the interlock ring like the ELD-X. A lung shot should work fine and I wouldn’t worry as much about bullet...

    Bino harness

    Yes, exactly. It’s fine. Plenty comfy for me. No rubbing or pressure points that I’ve experienced.
